We Are Not Forgotten – Arise and Shine

Scripture Reference: Isaiah 60:2

1. Overcoming Worry and Anxiety

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel weighed down by the pressures of life—our jobs, finances, families, and the uncertainty of the future. Yet, amid these struggles, we are reminded that God is good, and He is with us. Proverbs 12:25 says, “Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.” Let this truth uplift you: God is on your side. Psalm 94:19 assures us, “When anxiety was great within me, Your consolation brought me joy.” Trust Him to bring peace and gladness whenever your heart feels heavy.

2. Anxiety Does Not Have the Final Word

Anxiety can create fear and fill our hearts with doubts, leaving us feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Yet, no matter how deep the questions or burdens, God has the answers. He knows your struggles and sees every tear.

3. Live in the Present, Trust God for Tomorrow

Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Don’t let the weight of yesterday or the fears of tomorrow steal today’s joy. Worrying only drains your peace, but trusting in God strengthens you. Remember, no matter how difficult things may seem, God is still on His throne.

4. God Will Never Leave You

The promises of God are unchanging. He will never leave or forsake you. When you lean on His Word and trust Him, He heals, comforts, and restores joy to your spirit. In the mighty name of Jesus, you will find strength and peace.

5. You Are the Light of the World

God has declared, “You are the light of the world, the salt of the earth, and a city built on a hill that cannot be hidden.” No matter how fierce the storms of life may be, you will stand firm because God is with you. His presence ensures your survival and victory over the enemy. Psalm 46:5 reminds us, “At the break of dawn, God will come to its aid.” God has not forgotten you. Whatever your circumstances, He will show up, fight for you, and bring deliverance.

6. God’s Plan Is Perfect

There are no mistakes with God—everything works together according to His perfect plan. When things feel uncertain, fix your eyes on Him and keep going. His faithfulness will guide you, answer your questions, and make everything right again in His time.

7. You Are Not Forgotten

Even when the world feels chaotic, nations are in turmoil, and the economy is unstable, God has not lost control. He is still with you, and His promises remain steadfast. The Bible declares: “Though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1-2).

8. Arise and Shine

Isaiah 60:2 says, “For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you.” This is your promise: God is still speaking, fighting your battles, and declaring victory over your life. His glory is upon you, and you will overcome every challenge in the mighty name of Jesus.

Let us Pray

Father, thank You for being our refuge and strength. Even when the world feels heavy and uncertain, we know You are with us. Help us to trust You, to shine Your light, and to overcome every challenge through Your power. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
